In System Prefs there are some panels that load dynamically, as in if the system detects appropriate hardware it loads them, otherwise it doesn't bother. Best example is Inkwell. When my graphire is plugged in it is there and when my graphire is n…

I'd just like to point out that in recent years Apple hasnever offered an upgrade price for operating systems. You had to pay full price to go from 8 to 8.5, 85. to 9, and 9 to 10. 10 to 10.1 was a different story because Apple released 10.0 about…

The ?image extension it typically Toast. Where did you get it from? If you downloaded it, the metadata was probably present and looking for Toast. In OS X, because file names also help files find the apps they need, and can be useful if you know …

One thing I would like, was actually something you could enable in OS 10.0, but not in 10.1 You know those little arrows under running apps in the dock? In OS 10.0.x, you could make the arrow under the app you are using Blue, instead of Black. V…

[quote]Originally posted by Aquatik: Poster Boy, while you new UNIX people are very helpful, Steve666 is right. OS X sucks. I have enough RAM (so no VM issues) and also no crashes, with my OS 9. OS 9 is still better, in every damn respect. Uh…
